blankboy (2687), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 15, 2008 <i>Draught at Le Saint-Bock.</i> Pours a clear yellow-gold with an average size diminishing white head. Mild but nice aroma and flavour of hops, grain, plenty of fruit, mild sweetness and caramel malt. Medium bodied. A good version of the style, I enjoyed it.<br />

<b><u>Notes:</b></u> This brew was 6.5% at the festival EnSiFeRuM (330), Quebec, Canada Nov 30, 2008 En fût à la Ninkasi. La bière se présente avec une robe orangée et un col de mousse blanc crémeux. Au nez on respire un parfum de houblon floral sur un fond de caramel. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une effervescence moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de houblons floral au départ, vient ensuite une forte amertume en coalition avec des noisettes grillées. beerbuzzmontreal (2769), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jan 9, 2008 Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma and flavor of citrusy hops and malt with a bitter finish. The body is medium with a creamy texture and lively carbonation. Glouglouburp (2113), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Oct 22, 2007 <b>In short: </b>Kind of a cross between a Bitter and American Pale Ale. Crisp and hoppy. Nice session beer.<br />
<b>How: </b>Tap (pint) at Vices & Versa<br />
<b>The look: </b>clear golden copper body topped by a long-lasting medium off-white head<br />
<b>In long: </b>Crisp body with crisp caramel balanced by a hefty amount of hops. The hop profile is of the type “mix-bag” (dry and grassy, citrusy, floral and leafy). I’d even say that the balance is a bit towards the hops in this one, it would have profited from a heavier caramelized body. The carbonation is very lively, maybe a bit too much so. Overall a pretty nice beer that shows potential to be even greater. Ok, I’m someone who can enjoy a good rodeo but it doesn’t mean that I suddenly find my little cousin attractive.
